Strengths
- “This is a warm and welcoming school.”
- “They know their pupils and their families well.”
- “They use this knowledge to cultivate strong, nurturing relationships with pupils.”
To improve
- “However, particularly in the foundation subjects, teachers do not always provide pupils with activities that are best suited to the intended learning.”
- “This is because teachers sometimes lack the subject knowledge needed to adapt the curriculum appropriately.”
- “Where this happens, this limits pupils’ progress.”
